Chapter 69: No… Wait Until Tonight (2)

It’s just that she has to be more reserved! Moreover, in this world, women held the dominant position. What if she scared him off?

But at this moment… she was at a loss for words. She was worrying over nothing, because he was now suspecting there was something wrong with her. It’s really embarrassing thinking about it.

Gu Tingshu countered, “I wasn’t suspecting you, I just felt that you… you…”

“Quiet…” Zhao Xian said, bending down to lift him up and striding towards the room. “I’m perfectly fine. Since you have doubts, just verify it yourself.”

“Now?” Gu Ting Shu looked at the broad daylight with embarrassment. “No, wait until tonight…”

“But I don’t want to wait,” He dared to suspect that something was wrong with her. How could she tolerate it? She could easily knock out several oxen with a single punch.

Perhaps she didn’t realize that she had unconsciously integrated into this world and become a part of it.

While Gu Ting Shu was still hesitating, Zhao Xian spoke up, “Prepare yourself. Tonight, we’ll have another ceremony with the elders.”

“Yes, Your Grace. I’ll arrange it immediately!” The steward respectfully led the servants to prepare.

As they watched the servants leave, Gu Ting Shu was puzzled. “Another ceremony? Didn’t we already perform the traditional rites?” He remembered the lively ceremony amidst the festive atmosphere.

“I know, but this isn’t the wedding night. So, we’re making up for it now,” Zhao Xian said, pausing. “Can I ask you a question now?”

“What question?” Gu Ting Shu was curious.

“Do you like me now? Or the me from the legends?” Although her previous self belonged to a past life, what does it matter? The current self is the real self.”

Gu Tingshu hesitated for a moment and blushed, but after thinking for a while, he said seriously, “I like the current you, the one in front of me. Because you are the one who truly exists in my life now. The image of you from the legends is fading from my memory. Back then, you seemed aloof and ruthless, and I never imagined I could like someone like that. I’m not sure what I’m saying, but I truly like you.” Gu Tingshu closed his eyes and spoke earnestly. At this moment, he was confused, unsure of what he was saying, but it was truly his innermost thoughts. He liked the woman in front of him.

Hearing the man’s confession, it was the first time Zhao Xian heard the sound of her heart beating faster than ever. Looking at him nervously, Zhao Xian didn’t wait for him to say anything more. She leaned in and dominantly kissed him as if she wanted to devour him.

In the garden under the sun, a tall woman in ceremonial attire embraced a handsome man, presenting a picturesque scene. The servants in the distance all lowered their heads, not daring to look.

The kiss lasted for a long time. When Gu Tingshu came back to his senses, he found himself with his arms around her neck, standing on the ground. Her hands were at his waist and neck. Gu Tingshu leaned his head on his shoulder and whispered, “Will you only treat me well for the rest of your life? Will you treat others the same in the future?”

“Do you want me to treat others like this?” Zhao Xian raised an eyebrow.

“No, whoever dares to touch you, I’ll kill them,” Gu Tingshu said through gritted teeth, feeling embarrassed. When did he become so vicious?

Hearing his voice, Zhao Xian laughed. “I won’t! As long as you don’t let me down, I am willing to live a good life with you for eternity…” Zhao Xian looked into his eyes and spoke earnestly.
